About Three Kisses Studio

While I've always been drawn to great design, it wasn't until my mid 30s that I decided to follow my passion. I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions of my life. Inspiration for my designs comes from everything around me...from print, textile and current trends to travel, nature and my family and friends. I don't particularly have "one style" or "signature look" but I kind of like it that way. I thoroughly enjoy what I do and feel fortunate that I'm able to follow my dream.

Hi Amy! I just noticed a comment/question you left me back in November about my glitter bling party decor. Sorry I never noticed it!!! I actually just scanned in a sheet of glitter paper and used it as a placed image to achieve the glitter effect. Nothing fancy, but it works! Hope that helps. Again, sorry for my late reply. :)

Yeah, we're getting there w/ adjusting... I miss Vegas something fierce, but the school our kids are at is awesome... we love it. So - that helps a lot. :-) How are you doing w/ photography? I need to take a peek at your site and see what you've been up to :-)

Hi Amy, I have been admiring your work recently and just read your bio today since you are the featured designer. I have to say I really identified with some of the things you said. I am in my mid (okay, late - ha ha) 30's and have become completely obsessed with designing and want to make a career change. I'm wondering how you did it. Did you go back to school for a graphic design degree, just take some classes or ??? And what are you doing now? Hope you don't mind all the questions... just very curious. Just reply whenever you have time... no rush. Thanks Amy!! Monica

Hi Amy, I stopped by your site to get an e-mail address for you, but I couldn't find it anywhere, so I'm answering your questions here. I generally don't offer colored envelopes, but if a client requests them, I let them know that I don't keep them in stock and it will add to the turn around time if they would like them. I keep several reams and boxes of envelopes of my standard shop stock in house at all times. Miller's is a photo lab, but they have a press section where they offer everything from business cards to folded A2 cards. They will print whatever you send them. I've used them for 5x7 photo cards and for A2 invites sans photo. If you e-mail me (hello@senojaldesigns.com) your address, I'd be happy to send you a few samples of things I've had printed at Miller's. Hope that helps! Leslie Ann

Thank you so much for your kind comment... I live in Vegas too, that was totally my inspiration. :-) I'm a big fan of the retro nostalgia... and there's so much of it to be found here! :-)

Hi Amy! Thanks so much for your supportive comment on my Love Bites entry. I was a bit hesitant to enter it...not sure what people would think of a negative card...so your comments are much, much appreciated!

just wanted to drop a quick note to say i think you you submitted some really pretty designs in the baby challenge, and i cannot believe the butterfly one was not chosen as an editors' pick. i was really thrown by some of the super-low scores that were chosen over yours.
